USNet More on Missions in the United States of America * News

USNet - Our own homeland. It's incredible that a country founded on Christian principles could stray so far off God's path. But sadly, foreign countries are actually sending missionaries to the United States. To quote the "Missions Exploits" magazine

"The spiritual heritage of the USA is steadily being eroded - its loss would impoverish the world ... there is a great challenge for commitment among Christians. Lack of it has had devastating consequences - a respect of the Bible without knowledge of or obedience to its contents and an interest in religion without holiness to recommend it."

At present, no one has taken on this network. Our missionaries here in teh U.S. have a daunting task ahead of them. But God is bigger than any obstacle that stands in His way.

U.S. missionaries include Roland and Carolyn Ashby in Texas, Ted and Suzanne Field in Hawaii, Brian and Kathy Moyer in Florida, Rachel (Kieffaber) Bloss in Florida, Shay and Ty Lewis in Texas, Dan Sherman in Oregon, Evan Smith in California, and the Traver family in Tennessee.

The convenience of the Internet has provided an excellent tool for staying in contact with many of our missionaries around the world. Needs are realized with a keyboard and the simple click of a mouse.

Meeting dates, time, and the address of meeting places, are always listed in the weekly church bulletin.
